If you want to start a new patch of Jerusalem Artichokes, these can be planted from now until March, but be careful where you locate them as plants can grow up to 6ft (2m) tall. I thought my scales might not take the load, as my first autumn harvest weighed in at a massive 3.4 kg or 7.5lbs.
Use a good utility knife to cut the bottom stems from beneath the bases of the buds. This will allow the artichoke to sit flat and upright when cooking or serving. Cut about one inch off of the top of each artichoke and then remove the outer, tough leaves, particularly around the base. Discard these tough leaves.
